My main worry is that 15 minutes of reading is not enough. But I believe using a balanced literacy approach gives students a balanced amount of time spent independent reading, reading with a partner, participating in a conference, and meeting for a guided reading meeting. The bulk of the time, I believe, should be spent allowing students to read books of choice.
